Happiness Bay: Saint George Island Waterfront Luxury

Saint George Island may be the best-kept secret in Florida. It's unspoiled natural beauty and laid-back vibe make it ideal for people who want to unplug and unwind. No high rises, stoplights, street lights, or billboards. On our end of this 26-mile-long barrier island, there's only one road. We're on the Apalachicola Bay side, but the Gulf beach is across the street, with private beach access for our guests. You can watch the sunrise on the beach, and sunsets from our private dock or hot tub. Many of Saint George Island's vacation rentals are large homes that rent only by the week. We designed Happiness Bay Studio for two people, for any length of stay, so you can make a quick escape to Saint George whenever your schedule allows. The space is designed for luxury and convenience. The kitchenette has a mini fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster oven, toaster, double hot plate, coffee pot, with coffee, oil, and spices. This is a ground-floor studio apartment with private entrance and self check-in via digital lock. The hosts occupy the second and third floors of the home.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from St. George Island Beach. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a fridge and a microwave in the apartment.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with fridges, microwaves and coffee maker
  • Just a 3-minute walk from St. George Island Beach and 7 minutes by car from Pelican Reef

We loved our stay here ! Property was super nice. Private beach access was great. Loved being only a couple miles from town. I loved the quietness of the town and getting away from the hustle and bustle from the busy beach town. The family that owns the property were very kind and friendly. Only critique was the booking screen says no dogs but the book of rules on the night stand says dogs are allowed and this stunk because we wanted to bring our dog. This isn’t a negative but a be aware to other potential customers, you are renting the bottom room of the house so imagine being on the bottom floor apartment. Thoroughly enjoy our stay here.

Birthday on the Bay

This was a pristine and kinda boujee little apartment on the bay. I took coffee out to the dock every morning and let the mullet and the purple martins greet me. It was sooo quiet and private. From the front outdoor seating area, you can hear the waves crashing in the Gulf. Perfect getaway!!

Charming and Peaceful

A wonderful studio in a peaceful and secluded property. Everything we needed was provided. We made great meals and enjoyed the view while dining. We were lucky to see an eagle flying by. The Piggly Wiggly Mini has a great variety. Good restaurants! The State Park was fantastic and very close! Lots of nice shops and restaurants in Apalachicola. Able to book less than a week! A fantastic get away!!

Perfect for a short stay!!

My husband and I are on a six-week trip and decided to make a quick stop on St George Island, having never been here before. The studio apartment was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the linens were very nice. The kitchen area, while small, was perfectly functional for the two of us. Sitting on the dock in the afternoons watching for the eagles was an added treat. I would definitely recommend this rental!

Great over night on St. George Island, Fl.

Once we got in and heat on it was great. Only observation is the mattress had defiant problems. You need to flip and rotate it or replace it. Other than that it is a great place to stay a few days.

Great Stay, easy beach access and right on the Bay

My wife and I took a long weekend trip for our anniversary. It's a great place, the owners live above and you have your own access looking out at the Bay. Comfortable bed and small fridge and toaster oven. Short walk to the beach from the end of the driveway. There is a Bald Eagle nest near their dock if you go while they are still nesting. We saw them daily. We caught a few fish off the dock too. Highly recommend Salem's place.

Cozy Getaway

This was such a cute studio that was the perfect size for me and my girlfriend for the week. We did have a bad day of storms at first, but we were still able to enjoy the back dock and relax by the bay. The walk to the beach was super easy (I would recommend to bring a pair of water shoes or shoes you don’t care about, as there was some standing water between the road and beach). Couple of great restaurants only a few miles away. Super comfy bed and cute kitchenette. Bathroom was great with a spacious shower. If you are planning to use a cooler for the beach, I’d recommend getting ice down at the store. The freezer portion of mini fridge didn’t keep our ice packs frozen. But not a big deal. Overall it was a great time and we would love to come back!
